Through its Smart Shopper programme, the retailer will refund up to R600 000 worth of stationery purchased at QualiSave stores onto customers’ loyalty cards and reward up to 10 Pick n Pay customers with R50,000 each towards school fees.

To qualify to win, Pick n Pay QualiSave customers must buy five or more advertised Back to School stationery items and Pick n Pay customers must spend over R250 on Back to School items advertised in the respective leaflets before 28 January 2024.

Pick n Pay customers will also be rewarded with spot prizes, including Ster Kinekor tickets, Spur vouchers and Lego sets, during January.

In addition, orders placed on Mr D and Pick n Pay asap! with a linked Smart Shopper card will qualify for the Pick n Pay school fee competition.

“We are committed to making a positive impact on the lives of our customers in 2024, acknowledging the many challenges that the past year has presented to individuals and families.

“Through this latest initiative, we are providing customers with relief on the obligatory Back to School costs many are faced with this month,” says Andrew Mills, Chief Marketing Officer at Pick n Pay.

Pick n Pay School Club will also ensure around two million learners are given access to additional physical education materials through its annual delivery of CAPS-aligned, grade-specific educational content to over 2,600 schools.

This content is also made available online (https://schoolclub.co.za/resources/) for free download. The Club will also donate 34,000 pencil bags to Grade 4 learners and do stationery giveaways with partners.
